Abstract
Product (and service) designers have long been concerned with the user’s direct experience of their offerings, with ease-of-use often the primary design goal. However, we believe that the indirect experiences evoked by a product are at least as important to many users. For example, a comfortable bicycle seat is valued by most cyclists but the fun of speeding through the open country with good friends is more likely to motivate the purchase of a bicycle in the first place.
